Some boxers have gone as far as to say that the only reason Golovkin did not win the decision was because of Oscar Del La Hoya, who promoted both the fight and Canelo, controls the sport.

Canelo though, still feels he won the contest.

"I feel that I was the winner, but that's boxing," Canelo added. "I told everyone that it would be a great fight, I feel very happy with what I did, the people were happy and now they want to see the rematch."
